BrandingIdentity system

Brand identity and visual system

A brand concept for a restaurant or restaurant group — masterbrand and sub-brands: market, audience and trend analysis, unique positioning, naming and brand architecture including partners and collaboration formats, brand portfolio mapping, communication strategy across channels and formats, and a marketing calendar. Then the identity itself and its first applications — so the brand launches as a system, not a logo file.
